- The system of rules applied in recording and reporting accident statistics complies with the International Labour Organization (ILO) Code of Practice on Recording and Notification of Occupational Accidents and Diseases.
- Refers to the number of fatalities as a result of work-related injury.
- Starting from 2021, the unit is changed from the number of cases to the number of personnel.
- Refers to the number of fatal injuries per 200,000 work hours in the year.
- Rates are normalised to 200,000 work hours, which approximately equals to the number of hours worked by 100 people in one year.
- Starting from 2021, “Days Away From Work Injuries” replaces “Lost Time Injury”. Days Away From Work Injuries refers to the number of personnel who sustains work-related injury and is unfit to perform any work on any day after the occurrence of the injury. “Any day” is any calendar day which includes rest days, weekend days, leave days, public holidays or days after ceasing employment. It does not include the day the injury incident occurred. “Days Away From Work Injuries” excludes fatalities which were included in “Lost Time Injury”. Numbers prior to 2021 are the previously reported numbers for “Lost Time Injury”.
- Refers to the number of Days Away From Work Injuries and Fatalities per 200,000 work hours in the year.
- Refers to the number of personnel who sustains life threatening or life-altering work-related injury. It is a subset of Days Away From Work Injuries.
- Refers to the number of Total Recordable Injuries per 200,000 work hours in the year. Total Recordable Injuries include Fatalities, Days Away From Work Injuries, Restricted Work Injuries, and Medical Treatment Injuries.
- Starting from 2021, “Work-related Ill Health” replaces “Occupational Disease”. Work-related Ill Health includes the diseases listed in the ILO List of Occupational Diseases, work-related mental illnesses and work-related disorders. Numbers prior to 2021 are the previously reported numbers for “Occupational Disease”.
- Starting from 2021, “Lost Days” replaces “Days Lost”. “Lost Days” is the sum total of calendar days (consecutive or otherwise) after the days on which the work-related injuries and work-related ill health occurred. “Days Lost” accounts the working days instead of calendar days. Numbers prior to 2021 are the previously reported numbers for “Days Lost”.
- 19 out of 304 days were carried forward from one incident in 2020.
- 188 out of 443 days were carried forward from one incident in the past.

- Starting from 2019, the numbers have included full-time and part-time employees. Numbers in the previous years included full-time employees only.
- The percentages given refer to permanent employees within each region, who are eligible to retire within the next five years.
- There is no mandatory retirement age in Australia. Since 2019, the retirement age assumption has been adjusted from 60 to 65 to reflect local norms, which led to a significantly lower percentage compared to previous years. Numbers in previous years adopting the adjusted retirement age for Australia are as follows: 2017 - Australia: 4.8% / Group total: 12.9%; 2018 - Australia: 4.6% / Group total: 14.0%.
- Voluntary staff turnover refers to employees leaving the organisation voluntarily and does not include dismissal, retirement, company-initiated termination or end of contract.
